I almost forgot to do Bryn Forbes highlights! It’s a little late, but I’m sure there are still some Forbophiles out there who will appreciate him having one of the best scoring games of his career. I know, right? It’s true: this 15-point performance is the fourth (forbesth [that didn’t work]) best scoring game of…

If you take out all the points Reggie “Ock and Bull Torture” Bullock had in this game, his statline looks pretty meager. Yeah, I know, but it’s worse than usual. 1 assist and 1 foul in 34 minutes. That’s it. If you take into account that most of his scoring damage occurred in the third…

Ben Simmons’ candidacy for ROY of the Year has taken a hit due to the electrifying play of one Donovan Mitchell. It seemed like such a sure thing early in the year, but I guess that’s why they play the whole season with all its ebbs and flows. Simmons’ lack of a jumper is starting…

Joe Johnson is now at the point in his career were he is widely beloved even if he kind of sucks. Did people simply forget how much they used to make fun of him for being an iso chucker and having a ridiculous (for the time) contract? He iso chucked his way to 20,000 points…

The Knicks are starting to fade after their (mainly Porzingis’ actually) hot start, so you know what I’m going to suggest. Michael Beasley. 40 minutes per game. Number 1b option on offense next to Porzingis. They can take turns chucking shots. I don’t feel any compelling need to let other people take shots. Would it…

The good thing about having a big three (in this case, Khris Middleton, Giannis, and Bledsoe) is that sometimes one of the three can have not a great game and you can still win. Is that what Heat fans felt like? I think it is. The similarities are striking. We’ve got a LeBron (Giannis), and…

So maybe DownToBuck was wrong this one time. After his rather disastrous rookie season, and an improved but still not overly impressive second season, I didn’t have high hopes for Terry “Midget Shooting Guard Who Can’t Shoot” Rozier going into his third season. But he proved me wrong and improved his three-point shooting to a…

Patty Mills was legitimately the second scoring option in the lineup that the Spurs trotted out last night. Kawhi didn’t play, and Pau Gasol is suffering from a serious case of the olds (0-of-4 in twelve minutes), so Mills is only behind Aldridge in terms of scoring potency. Those are the kinds of situations where…

“What you in for?” asked the gruff-looking man to his tall, Polish cellmate. “I offer a lady for a taste of my special Polish kielbasa, and she make big scene and call police,” Marcin Gortat answered with a shrug. “I know not what did I do wrong, but police arresting me, and now I here…

Out of all three of Spencer “Din-Dins” Dinwiddie’s career-high games (seriously, would it be so hard to score one more point?), this is the only one where the Nets won the game. And the win was directly caused by Din-Din’s heroic leaning jumpshot with ten seconds left right in the grill of Taj Gibson. I…
